Review on πŸ”§ Reusable Handi-Shim for Precise Construction Leveling and Plumbing by Jason Childs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Endless uses beyond shimming.

Keep these handy and you'll find many uses. Sharp edges on thicker pieces are great for scraping off wet glue when gluing a project; also for sealant cleaning; also for removing dried adhesive on painted surfaces; also for cleaning the solution from cracks in the tools; etc. Also suitable for measuring small sizes. Have you ever tried to get an accurate 1/8 inch measurement by holding the tape measure against something? Mostly it's guesswork. They allow you to place the assembly next to the object until the surfaces are level and get an accurate measurement. for joint or joint measurement. Also good for sticking tape on a level to get an accurate measurement of slope (e.g. tape two 1/4" pieces 2 feet apart and you have a 1/4" inclination: ft.). They also break easily if you need a smaller piece or use a razor blade. Biggest problem: I feel like I have to buy more and more.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Socket required
